What is the solution of the log of open paren t minus 3 close paren is equal to the log of open paren 17 minus 4 t close paren ?

Since the logarithms have the same base, their arguments must be equal: t − 3 = 17 − 4t. Solving gives 5t = 20, so t = 4. This value makes both arguments positive, and the correct choice is 4.
